rear ap1 7.5 on front.
hello, i have 2 spare rear ap1 16 inch rims. they are already bored out to fit the front. i already test fit it. i was just going to put the front tires on the rims and mount.
i check a offset calc and should stick out 3mm.
but I'm wondering should i run a spacer in the rear, to even out the stance?
if so what size spacer can i run without getting adapters or extending lugs?
is it hard to extend lugs?
is it even worth it? (i don't plan on running these stocks forever, i want to get 17x9 rpf1's)
anyone have any pics of the rear wheels on the front?(this search feature is weird compared to my old forum (audizine))
wheel specs::
rear stock: ap1 16x7.5 et 65 245/45/ZR16
current front: ap1 16x6.5 et 55 225/50/ZR16
wanted front: ap1 16x7.5 et 65 225/50/ZR16
the reason I'm swapping to 7.5 is because i got an awesome deal on the 2 rims, and my fronts are curb rashed from PO

well yeah i saw that it only stuck out 3mm i was checking more or less what spacer i would need to run to make the rear look better, maybe I'm just thinking to much. I'm painting the stock wheels gold, with red "H" on the center caps. with other gold/red trim on a silver s2k w/ red/black leather interior
The hub bore is too big to fit the rear wheels to the front so you have to either bore out the rear wheel, dremmel flat the bore ring on the rotor itself, or like above the 3/5mm spacers.
I'm not a big fan of spacers unless they have the built in studs. I heard that lug nuts to stubs need at least 5 full rotations for guaranteed full contact mount or it's a risk to your wheels and car.

the extra rears are already bored out to fit. i test fitted them already just by the time i was home the tire shop was closed. this thread was more about spacing the rear out. and if anyone runs this set up.
